I'm doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and I just started level 2. I'm having a difficult time keeping pace with a few moves. Namely, the pendelum lunges (lunging forward then lunging backwards with the same leg) and the plank jumps (in plank position then you jump your feet forward, hands still on the ground. I keep losing my balance and I can't seem to keep my knees where they should be and I'm scared I'm abusing my back. Any suggestions for mods or ways to improve at these moves? I really don't want to injure myself, but I also don't want to stop doing the 30DS

    OH, NO!!! Crap. I'm in level 1 and doing ok but if that's what's coming up, I can't do those moves with my knees.

    And I love how she always says "there's no modification for this!"

    I would just stick to either forward or backward lunges, so you have more time to make sure your knee doesn't go over your toe. I'm pretty sure the modification for the jump plank is to tap one toe at a time next to the opposite knee. Hope that helps!
